Mindy Kaling's show is about to be canceled. That doesn't mean she isn't funny and a great actress and worthy to be included in the women of television issue for Elle. She makes way more sense then Allison Williams who has one role on an ensemble show on a pay tv network. Elle does not like women who are larger than a size zero. You won't see models on their cover who are larger. The only time they make any exception to the policy is with actresses. They hate to do that and have used some very creative ways of making sure that you think the person on the cover is much smaller than in reality.

For it's issue this month Elle chose four women for four separate covers. With the exception of Mindy, all the women got full body photos in sexy clothes in bright vivid color. The very curvy and sexy Mindy got a black and white photo of her face and chest area. No one would have said a peep about it except for the decision by Elle to have the other women dressed and highlighted as they were. I bet Elle never makes this mistake again and just eliminates separate cover issues or just finds someone who is less curvy.

I just don't find Mindy Kaling funny. I read her book and it was incredibly boring. I don't think I laughed once. I support her as a fellow strong, curvy woman but as far as incredible talent … I just don't see it.

I think she looks fabulous and she's already said that she loves the picture and if you want to see her body you can take her out on 13 dates.Melissa McCarthy also said she chose her coat to wear and she also likes her picture.

Me 2 @OneEyeCharlie ! @Enty i like that you refer to this controversy but your post would gain credibility if you'd quote where you got your idea from. The Gloss The Gloss via The Huff Post , NY Daily News , The LA Times and many more media outlets already pointed this out yesterday...

If zooey won't wear a blond wig, I'd flip flop her and Amy. Not that I'm anti dark hair, just I thought she was hotter in Elf, than with the horrible hair and bangs she wears now. It really looks like a bad wig to me.

I'd rather have a pic of Allison's lady parts and a pair of her well worn, unwashed panties than have sex with any of the others.

If I were slated to be on front cover, I would beg them to not put a full body shot of me on it either. I'm not heavy at all, but I just feel a little out of shape at the moment, because I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure Mindy and her camp had the last word in which picture to use. I think people are making WAY too big of an issue about this. Besides, Elle Mag can do whatever they want. If people are that offended, just don't buy the magazine.

Knowing this now just makes me want to go out and buy the mag w/ Mindy Kaling cover and tell all my friends to do the same. I don't read Elle magazine, but it would be fantastic if they saw sales from Mindy's cover just blow the others out of the water. I would LOVE that...and I know others out there feel the same. Let's do it!!!

You only had to watch one or two episodes of 'The City' to see what vile people they are at that magazine.

Mind you, they're pretty much all like that. And people need to remember that the cover folk VERY seldom look like that in 'real life'. Whenever Cameron Diaz is on a cover they give her photos the works - she does not look that flash in 'real life'.

These mags do it to appeal to the masses of women who buy them, seldom men.

I like Mindy A LOT actually, but who gives a flying f*ck. ELLE has the right to choose whatever cover they want. and I bet a million dollars that is the probably the shot Mindy would have chosen herself...Fashion magazines have models or model-esque people on the cover. It is what it is. If these larger size people complaining dont like they should start their own magazine. I am sure it will be flying off the shelves...NOT! ELLE is a business and needs to make cash just like every other corporation.

That breaks my heart! I love Mindy's show, and I keep wondering how does that awful Zoey "New Girl" stay on? I used to be a fan of Zoey's but her show is soooo bad. Keeping my fingers crossed that Mindy stays. Just like last night's show...Mindy has a woman's body!

I think the issue is more the black and white than the close-up. Vanity Fair did something similar where Kerry Washington had a black and white photo where Charlize and Amy Poehler and the one other woman featured (forget who) had color photos. Mindy's skin looks luminous here and probably would have looked stunning in color.

I went to college with someone who interned at Elle. She said it was pretty much like Devil Wears Prada, some days they called it "H-Elle" and other days were very interesting.

This is a non-story to me. I expect to see scrawny women tricked up and photoshopped on the covers of magazines like this, that's what they do and that's why I don't read them. Remember what that fitness magazine did to Britney?

One if these things is not like the other, and I'm NOT talking about Mindy in black and white!You've got 3 talented go getter/writer/actor/show runners, then you've got the pretty one from Girls.I don't think the controversy should be about Mindy's cover.

I also love the Mindy Project and Mindy Kaling. Her book was hilarious and I'd like her to be my friend. I don't care about this cover because Zooey sucks, that Allison girl got famous because of nepotism, and I'm not sure what to say about Amy Poehler. She's fine, I guess.

I have a thing for Mindy- she's hot, doesn't look like a near-anorexic actress, funny, writes & produces. Kinda does it all. Elle's got some serious issues to work out itself if it doesn't think that's sexy. (I actually think the other covers kinda suck- Zooey dresses like a 12 year old, Amy's better than having to put her boobs on display, and I have no clue who the other chick is, but someone needs to get her a sandwich ASAP, before the poor girl passes out.)

Yes, and while they could have put her in more figure-hugging clothes, I thought she looked beautiful. And I think Mindy looks really good on her cover, as well. I saw all the covers together the other day and it didn't even dawn on me that her's was set apart.

I adore Mindy and TMP is the only heir to 30 Rock currently on TV. I luvs me some Amy too and I'd be surprised to see her show on the sked this fall as well. Looks like both shows might be doomed. Zooey's show has gotten terrible. As for the ELLE covers, Mindy is the sexiest woman out of all of them. B.J. Novak is one damn lucky man.

CDAN also flatly predicted that Parks & Recreation would be cancelled and that no more episodes would air after November...and they're coming back with a new episode tomorrow night. So the prediction about Mindy's show is probably bullshit as well.

Mindy better Not Get cancelled. I LOVE that show. Mindy is hilarious! Love, love, love her! And re cover- meh- Mindy was only one gorgeous enough for a close-up. She is smart and sophisticated and doesn't need to show t&a to look sexy and hot. In other words, she is too rad to be in Elle.

I really hope the show manages to stick around. Last nights episode was hilarious.I actually think Mindy's photo is the most beautiful of all of the covers. I wouldn't be surprised if the magazine had less then stellar intentions behind their choice, but she looks downright gorgeous on the cover.

@ Derek actually...I heard about the vogue issue. Doesn't make what I said less true, and I stand behind saying that Lena is an asshole. Because she is. mindy is awesome, and they are NOT best friends. friends sure, BFFs. Nope. #actually.

I watched one episode of The Mindy Project and that was because Tim Olyphant was in it. I was surprised that when I stopped drooling over Olyphant that the show was actually pretty good. I keep forgetting about it though.
